Deltatrak Scientific 11063 Jumbo Display Auto-Cal Needle Probe Thermometer

Always trusted this brand. What I like in this specific one is the refresh rate of the temperature displayed. Some others take a second or two to display the temperature drop or increase and since time is of an essence to what I am using it for, it helps a lot. The self calibrating feature is fast and takes away the guess work. Big digits help to read the temperature from a distance.

I bake bread - (It's like a confession at an A.A. meeting). I tell myself it's a manly pastime, but lots of women bake bread too. And other stuff, which I love eating, but back to bread - the 'Staff of Life' as we know. It turns out that temperature regulation during the proving phases is more important than I had believed. When the temperature drops below 70 degrees F, I need to let the proving process run on a little. It all happens faster when the thermometer nudges higher. If I am to achieve the crumb I seek, attention to such detail really matters. Does this sound nerdy? Sorry - but I seek perfection and this thermometer is helping me get a little closer!
